It'd be personification, because the author is giving human-like characteristics to the stars, e.g. the stars holding and throwing spears.

The answer is <u>personification</u>.

Personification is a metaphor and a literary device that takes place when a thing, idea, abstract qualities, any aspect of nature, emotions or event is given human characteristics. This is used in the excerpt when the narrator gives the starts the human attribute of throwing spears as if stars had the consciousness and will to perform such action as humans do.

Need help please ...It's urgent....about quote textual evidence to support the inference. Thank you.
nignag [31]

Answer:

I  believe the quote that does not support the inference that living in Alaska can be a challenge is:

c) "During this time, Alaskans spend a lot of time outside enjoying nature."

Explanation:

Quotes A, B, and D all talk about the challenges of living in Alaska. Alaskans need to worry about their vitamin D intake, about adjusting their lifestyles to lack or excess of light, etc. However, option C does not talk of a challenge or a difficulty. If we read option C without the context given in the passage, we would not at all guess that it has anything to do with a difficult, demanding lifestyle. It sounds as if Alaskans simply get to have fun in nature. For that reason, letter C is the one that does not support the inference that living in Alaska can be a challenge.
